I bought this in 2019 from Lucky Fret in Shoreditch, London. At the time I tried many different Custom Shop Les Pauls, including several from different years at Lucky Fret, but this Les Paul was the best I tried. All period correct features, including colour bleed into the binding, hand sanded top. The True Historics were produced for 2 years, 2015 and 16. The rolled frets make the neck irresistible, and just fantastic finishes all over.
Here's a folder of all images.
They are supremely well made, a joy to play, and this one is a joy to look at too, amazing flame top.
The colour is vintage cherry burst.
There is plenty of info on the internet about these, including the Gibson Legacy model pages
I used this guitar in rehearsals and a couple of gigs. There’s a mark on the neck that was there when I bought it, and another couple of marks on the body, all in the pictures. The old original nitro cellulose coating is easy to mark. This isn't a case queen, or whatever people call them, I'm not a collector. This guitar will get better with age, ideally they don't get damaged, but wear and tear will only improve the look of this fabulous guitar.
Everything else stock, except the wiring loom, which is a Monty's 50s, I’ll supply the original wiring loom with the guitar, picture of the original loom, in the Montys packaging.
Pick up only in East London. A reluctant sale, aren’t they all. I sold several guitars to purchase this, but not enough gigs these to justify holding onto a guitar of this value, and most people prefer me to use a strat. Yawn.
Amazing guitar, once you try it, you’ll want it. That’s what happened to me.

i bought it, as it was the best CS les Paul I had played! I was hoping to hold onto it, as it’s one of those guitars you keep.
I’ve owned half a dozen or so (mostly R9’s) and they have always been excellent players. I tend to prefer Murphy Lab now as the hard lacquer feels nicer under the hand.

I don’t expect this guitar to sell quickly, but adjusting the price for this forum and current market
